Christmas Candle

DRS Designs recently released this Jumbo Candle stamp. Jumbo makes it sound huge, but it actually measures 1" x 3." It worked perfectly for this Christmas card I recently made.

Here's a close up of the greeting so you can read it. I had a hard time taking a photo of this--I think because of the red cardstock. The stamping is much darker in real life.

I really love how this candle turned out! I decorated the base of it by stamping the Holly image several times, coloring them with marker, and then cutting the holly images out. I overlapped them and adhered them in place. I also colored the flame with marker and sponged yellow ink around it to produce the "glow." I finished it off by adding my favorite yellow Stickles to it to give it that firey sparkle!
